Abstract
Let be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let and denote the complex and real Banach algebras of all continuous complex-valued and continuous real-valued functions on under the uniform norm on , respectively. Recently, Fupinwong and Dhompongsa (2010) obtained a general condition for infinite dimensional unital commutative real and complex Banach algebras to fail the fixed-point property and showed that and are examples of such algebras. At the same time Dhompongsa et al. (2010) showed that a complex -algebra has the fixed-point property if and only if is finite dimensional. In this paper we show that some complex and real unital uniformly closed subalgebras of do not have the fixed-point property by using the results given by them and by applying the concept of peak points for those subalgebras.

Summary
We let C, R, N {1, 2, 3, . . .}, T {z ∈ C : |z| 1}, D {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}, D {z ∈ C : |z| ≤ 1} denote the fields of complex, real numbers, the set of natural numbers, the unit circle, the open unit disc, and the closed unit disc, respectively. Let τ be a topological involution on a compact Hausdorff topological space X and let A be a unital uniformly closed real subspace of C X, τ. Let τ be a topological involution on a compact Hausdorff topological space X and A be a unital uniformly closed real subspace of C X, τ. Let A be an infinite dimensional unital commutative complex Banach algebra satisfying each of the following:. We give a general condition for some infinite dimensional unital uniformly closed subalgebras of C X to fail the fixed-point property by applying Theorems 1.4 and 1.6. By using the concept of τ-peak points for unital uniformly closed real subalgebras of C X, τ , we show that some of these algebras do not have the fixed-point property
